Corporate Social Responsibility

NVT Group has been active in CSR activities for many years, in particular by making donations to our charity partners, assisting with local community projects, providing sponsorship to young athletes in training and raising sizeable amounts for several good causes.

In the years 2014-2016 our charitable donations amounted to more than £133,000. Whilst a number of local, Scottish and international charities benefited, we are most proud of the support given to ENABLE Scotland, NSPCC Scotland, St Columba’s Hospice and the Beatson Cancer Charity.

ENABLE Scotland is our nominated Charity of the Year for 2017 and we have ambitious plans to break our fundraising target for the year. Look out for our fundraising activities here and on our social media channels!

Mountain climbs and Fire walks

In May 2014, NVT’s team of Modern Apprentices, alongside other NVT staff and friends embarked upon an ambitious mountain climb to help raise important funds for the NSPCC in Scotland. After an extraordinary period of fund raising, we presented a cheque for £10,000 to the NSPCC at a special ceremony held in our Bellshill HQ.

In 2016, we announced that ENABLE Scotland would be our nominated charity partner. Throughout a year of campaigning – an initiative we called “NVT *hearts* ENABLE” – we embarked on various fundraising activities, including dress down days, a virtual cycle from Bellshill to Barcelona and, in November, we took part in a Firewalk at NVT Group’s Bellshill HQ. Many NVT Group employees and friends overcame their fears and took part in the firewalk. Throughout the year we helped to raise a massive £13,735 for the charity.

Find out about our sustainable cloud for charities

As well as taking part in vital fundraising, we support charitable organisations in other ways. In 2016 we launched our “Cloud which Cares” – the ViiA Charity Cloud. This is a specially designed cloud computing solution which has been created with the unique needs of third sector organisations in mind.

The ViiA Charity Cloud allows charities to drive efficiency while reducing their technology expenditure, providing enterprise class technologies and features with a price tag which better suits organisations with charitable status. The cloud also promotes collaboration with other charities – as tenant numbers on the ViiA Charity Cloud increase, costs reduce and these savings are passed to all resident charities via rebates.
